About MAHS
The Maritime Asia Heritage Survey (MAHS) digitally documents endangered historical and archaeological heritage across the watery world of coastal and island Southern Asia. The seasonal monsoon cycles of this region have for centuries facilitated the circulation of people, materials and ideas across a vast seascape and its riparian extensions to create a complex mosaic of diverse local cultures.
